Sarasota National Cemetery, Sarasota

Beautifully curated memorial to the men and women who have served our country, along with the sacrifices made by their families. This places reminds you of how precious democracy is.

The price for your freedom....those willing to serve. Placing a coin on headstones of a service member is a show of respect as well as letting the deceased service member's family know someone was there. The denomination of the coins each have a distinct and significant meaning. 295 acres along State Road 72, Sarasota County.

A beautiful cemetery for this who have served in the military. The grounds are immaculate and such a peaceful place to visit.

The cemetery is beautiful and it was an honor to bury my parents there. The communications are lacking however. I was originally told it would take about seven days for plaque for the niche on columbarium. Then told up to sixty days. I was told I would be notified by email when it was done. Never received one. Had to drive there to see it. I called and asked about it. The woman had no idea and told me someone would call me back. That was a week ago. No call.

I had the honor to be apart of placing flags on the graves for Veterans Day. It was a wonderful experience. The grounds were kept Immaculate. There were people set up with tables and books around the grounds so that you could find your family or loved one easily I looked up several people that I knew and was very easy for me to find them once I knew where to go.
